Biffy Clyro are currently considered to be one of the most exciting indie rock bands and their new album, Ellipsis, due for release later this year, is eagerly awaited.Three childhood friends from Scotland founded a band, released three albums bursting with youthful boisterousness, and entered the music charts with their fourth release, Puzzle, in 2007. Their album Opposites, released in 2013, earned them a place among the bands filling arenas and headlining such renowned rock music events as the Reading and Leeds Festivals. This year, after a career break of a few years, they are making a comeback with their seventh studio album, Ellipsis. The first single from the album, Wolves of Winter, released back in March, is a great success.
